YMMV source=madwifi_g,ath0,netgear is what worked for me, for a Netgear WG511T. > My /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 for use with kismet. > > DEVICE=ath0 > BOOTPROTO=none > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > ONBOOT=no Interestingly enough, it seems to work with the boot protocol set to dhcp and the onboot set to yes.
